You'll probably want to clone the git repository at have a look at

https://sourceforge.net/p/gtkpod/libgpod/ci/master/tree/src/itdb_device.c

* itdb_device_get_checksum_type (1907),
* called by itdb_device_write_checksum (1985)

The fact that the checksum returned is ITDB_CHECKSUM_UNKNOWN could be a
useful guide for error handling as well as the writing of the checksum
returning false.
